In one embodiment, the first semiconductor layer 121 is an n-type semiconductor layer for providing electrons, the second semiconductor layer 122 is a p-type semiconductor layer for providing holes, and holes and electrons combine in the active layer 123 to emit light under a driving current.

In one embodiment, the light-emitting stack 12 comprises an inverted pyramidal shape.

A transparent conductive layer 124 comprising conductive material is formed on the second semiconductor layer 122. The transparent conductive layer 124 covers a substantially entire surface of the second semiconductor layer 122, and is transparent to the wavelength of the light emitted from the active layer 123.

A thickness of the first electrode 14 or the second electrode 16 is about 0.1 to 10 microns. The first electrode 14 and the second electrode 16 can have any shape such as rectangular, polygon, circle, and ellipse from a top view of the light-emitting device 1.

Further, the light-emitting device 1 can be flipped to mount to a sub-mount (not shown), and majority of the light is extracted from a bottom surface 10 b of the substrate 10. Therefore, since light emitted from the active layer 123 mainly emits through the bottom surface 10 b of the substrate 10, the substrate 10 is preferably transparent to the dominant wavelength of the light.

Preferrably, the distance between the top surface 10 t and the interior 10 i is larger than 10 μm when the thickness of the substrate 10 is larger than 80 μm.

The plurality of second micro-structures m2 comprises a feature size larger than that of the plurality of first micro-structures m1. The “feature size” means a maximum length between any two points of a structure.

The semiconductor stack 120 comprises a first semiconductor layer 1210 having a first conductivity type, a second semiconductor layer 1220 having a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type, and an active layer 1230 formed between the first semiconductor layer 1210 and the second semiconductor layer 1220. The growth wafer 100 comprises a top surface 100 t comprising a plurality of concavo-convex structures 102 which improves light extraction efficiency of the light-emitting device 1, wherein the plurality of concavo-convex structures 102 is regularly pattern distributed between the growth wafer 100 and the semiconductor stack 120, and the plurality of concavo-convex structures 102 is formed by patterning and etching the growth wafer 100 such that the growth wafer 100 and the plurality of concavo-convex structures 102 are of one-piece and substantially composed of the same material. The plurality of concavo-convex structures 102 is periodically arranged with a uniform shape. For example, each of the plurality of concavo-convex structures 102 comprises a cone shape. A transparent conductive layer 1240, for example, a layer comprising indium tin oxide (ITO) is formed on the semiconductor stack 120. More specifically, the transparent conductive layer 1240 is formed on the second semiconductor layer 1220.

In an example of FIG. 4C, the protective layer 20 can be a silicon oxide layer having a thickness of approximately 500˜5000 angstroms. The protective layer 20 can be formed by chemical vapor deposition, or spin-coating.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4D, an upper part of the growth wafer 100 is divided or removed by laser dicing or blade cutting along the plurality of trenches 22. In another words, laser dicing or blade cutting is processed in the exposed portion 100 a of the growth wafer 100. Thus, a V-shape scribing region is formed on an upper part of the growth wafer 100 from a cross sectional view of the growth wafer 100, and formed inside the exposed portion 100 a of the growth wafer 100 from a top view of the growth wafer 100, wherein the V-shape scribing region is free of the protective layer 20.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4E and FIG. 6, ions such as argon cation, hydrogen cation, or nitrogen cation can be implanted into a depth of the growth wafer 100 not covered by the protective layer 20 through an ion implanter. The depth is not smaller than 10% of a thickness of the growth wafer 100 or not smaller than 8 microns. Preferably, the distance between the top surface 100 t and the interior 100 i is larger than 10 μm when the thickness of the growth wafer 100 is larger than 80 μm. FIG. 4E shows a cross-section view from line A-A′ of FIG. 6.

In another example of the embodiment, the step of FIG. 4E can be processed prior to the step of FIG. 4D.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4F and FIG. 6, the doped region 7 is etched by an etchant such as HF. The etchant flows from the exposed portion 100 a of the growth wafer 100 and an exposed surface 242 of the V-shape scribing region of the doped region 7, and into an interior of the growth wafer 100, thus the exposed surface 242 of the V-shape scribing region is roughened by the etching step, and the plurality of concavo-convex structures (not shown) of the exposed portion 100 a of the growth wafer 100 is roughened to form the plurality of first micro-structures m1 of FIG. 2, and an upper part of the growth wafer 100 is roughened to form the plurality of second micro-structures m2 distributed from the top surface 100 t to an interior 100 i of the growth wafer 100. FIG. 5 shows a SEM diagram of FIG. 4F. The etchant flows from a plurality of recesses 5 formed on an exposed surface 242 of the V-shape scribing region, and into the exterior 100 i of the growth wafer 100 along a plurality of micro-space 6 to form the plurality of second micro-structures m2.

As shown in FIG. 4F, a distance between the top surface 100 t and the interior 100 i is not smaller than 10% of a thickness of the growth wafer 100 or not smaller than 8 microns. Specifically, the V-shape scribing region comprises a depth larger than 10 μm, and the thickness of the growth wafer 100 is larger than 80 μm.

In an example of the embodiment, the upper part of the growth wafer 100 is divided by laser dicing, and the lower part of the growth wafer 100 is divided by physically breaking. In another example of the embodiment, the upper part of the growth wafer 100 is divided by physically breaking, and the lower part of the growth wafer 100 is divided by laser dicing. In another example of the embodiment, both the upper part and the lower part of the growth wafer is both divided by laser dicing or physically breaking. The dividing position of the lower part of the growth wafer 100 is divided by laser dicing or physical breaking through a position corresponding to the V-shape scribing region, thus the growth wafer 100 and the light-emitting stacks thereon are separated into a plurality of chips. Each of the plurality of chips comprises the substrate 10 and the light-emitting stack 12 formed on the substrate 10 as previously described in the foregoing embodiments and FIG. 1-3.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, total internal reflection of the light emitted from the active layer of the light-emitting device is reduced by forming the plurality of first micro-structures and the plurality of second micro-structures, thus light extraction efficiency is improved. In addition, the light extraction efficiency can be further improved by the inclined surface of the substrate of the light-emitting device, because the total internal reflection is also reduced by the inclined surface.

In the embodiment, the etching solution comprises sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid or the combination thereof. In addition, for avoiding over etching the buffer layer 54 or other lower layer of the light-emitting section to prevent from the first semiconductor stacks 51 near the first side wall Ms collapsing, the etching time may be selected from 10˜30 minutes or larger than 30 minutes and the etching temperature may be selected from 200˜250° C. or 250˜300° C.
